Extraordinary Powers Noticeable in Fee
ble-Minded IndividuaIs

ble-Minded individuals.
It is a strange but well-known fac
that, in many persons who are idioti<
or but little removed from the menta
condition of idiots, certain powers o;
the mind may be developed to al extra
ordinary degree.
Remarkable precocity in the powe,
of arithmetica! calculations is frequent
ly combined with positive deficiency
in other directions. In institutions
devotes, to the care of feeble-mintted
children such examples are nearly al
ways present Deficient in some fac.
ulties, Others are developed to excess.
Some such can carve and draw with
great skill. Extraordinary memory i:
often met with associated with very
great defect OF reasoning. One boy,
In reading Gibbons S Rise and Fall o.
the Roman Empire skipped line
on the third page at his first perusal.
Ever after, when reciting from memo
~ the stately periods Of Gibbon, he
would, on coming to the third page,
skip the line and retrace his steps, just
as when he first recommitted the pas
gage to memory.
Often the memory takes the form OF
remem bering dates and past events.
One boy never failed to tell correctly
the name and address of every confec.
toner's shop he had visited in Lcndon,
and could as readily tell the date OF
every visit. The faculty of number is
usually slightly developed in feeble
minded children, whi}e memory is fair
ly well developed; yet occasionally the
power oS mental arithmetic has been
We'll developed. improvisation is an
occasional faculty. Memory of tune
is a very common faculty among the
feebae~minded; they readily acquire
simple airs, and rarely forget them.
III none of the cases of idiot savants
has there been any history of the pos
session Of similar faculty by the
parents or sisters CT brothers. In one
case a necropsy is reported By DR.. j.
l. Down, of London The boy had a
remarkable, indeed perfect, appreci;~
ton of past OF passing time. There
was 80 difference from an ordinary
brain, with the exception that there
were two well-marked and distinct soft
commissures. Dr. Downs explana-
ton of the phenomenon was that, as
every movement of the house was ab-
solntely pnnctualy he had data from
which he could estimate the time by
accurate appreciation of its aux.
Every form OF mental deviation may
be met with in the congenital feeble
minded. They may become the SUBJ
jects of acute and chronic mania, of
acute and chronic melanchoIia, and of
acnte mania, the feeble intellect OF the
youth becomes famed into brighter
flame. The taciturn may become
loquacious; the ti4nid and respectful,
proud and defiant; the aniable and
tractable, abusive and destructive.
Three remarkable instances occurred to
DIR, Down of boys who had never been
able to speak making use of we'll

What a Boston Merchant Paid for Being
Impolite to Stranger.
Does it pay to be polite? The expert.
ence of q certain Washington street
| merchant inclines him very strongly to
the view that it does. Let him tell the
story:
'lr was about two months ago that
went to Young's to lunch, one day, feel.
ing oyerworked, tired and cross, sup
pose. Looking up and down the
tables, in the part of the room where I
always prefer to sit, 1 saw one table
where there were two empty chairs,
one of which, however, had been
turned down by quiet-looking man
with black beard, who sat at the
table. I took the other empty chair,
and ordered my lunch.
''Just as I had begun to eat, friend
Of mine--Psrkinson Of Milk street
whom wanted to see very much, came
in and walked down past the tables.
There was business matter between
us which was anxious to consum-
mate. was also anxious to keep at
my lunch. looked at the chair that
was turned down, and it struck me that
my neighbor's friend, for whom he
was keeping the place, was q long
time coming in. have told you al
ready that was q little cross. So l
quietly turned back the chair and in
yited Parkinson to sit down. Where
upon The man with the black beard
looked up in surprise.
Il was keeping that chair for a
friend, said he.
''It strikes me, sir, that your friend
is a long time coming said I, ILL
naturelly, 'and don't think any ons
has a right to retain a seat to the ex~
clusion Of everybody else.
'.The black bearded man said nc
more, though he looked me over care
fully, and Parkinson sat down. Pres.
entity the other mans friend came in,
and the black bearded man got up,
had his dishes removed to another
table after some bother to get hold of
waiter, and they sat down together,
while we went ON with our lunch and
our business.
about month after that there was
q matter of some $1,000 difference ir
81 transaction between q man in our
trade and myself, and we agreed to
leave it out to arbitration. We each
selected cur man, and they selected q
third, who wasn't know to me, but
who was said to be very faiz. man. 4
had my side set forth in good shape.
and knew should have WOE the case
easily enough. But when I went in
to see the arbitrators, and gave 3
glance at the third man, my heart
sank, 1t was the black-bearded man
whose chair had taken possession OF
at Young's- Now believe that man
may have been fully resolved 10 decide
the case Oh its merits, but I don't
believe that he or any other n,au
could have done so under the circun1-
Stages. My rude act stuck in his
crop, that was ell. He decided dead
against me- ard served me right. /

HEROES AND tjEROiNES.

Good Men and Women W1ose Merits Can
| Not BE Exaggerated.
The heroism OF private life. the slow,
unchronicled nartydoms of the heart,
who shall berp Greater than any
knightly dragon slayer of old is the
man who overcolnes al unholy pas
sion, sets his foot upon it and stands
serene and strong in virtue. Greater
than Zenobia is the woman who strug-
giles with the love that would wron g
another or degrade her own soul, and
conquers The young man, ardent
who turns from the dear love Of wo-
men, aud huries deep in his heart the
sweet instinct OF paternity, to devote
himself to the care and support OF
aged parents or an unfortunate sister,
and whose life is ~ long sacrifice, in
manly checriuiness and majestic spirit,
is hero in the rarest type-the type

such
The young woman who resolutely
stays with father and mother in the
old home, while brothers and sisters go
forth to happy homes Of their own;
who cheerfully lays on the altar Of
filial duty that ccstliest OF human
sacrifices, the JOY Of loving and being
loved--she is a heroine / have known
many such.
The husband who goes home from
everyday routine, and the perplexing
cares of business with cheerful smile
and loving word to his invalid wife;
who brings not against her the grievous
sin of long sickness, and reproaches
her not for the cost and discomfort
thereof; who sees in her languid eyes
something deaper than gir]ish laughter,
in the sad face and faded cheeks that
blossoms into smiles and even bushes
at his coming, something lovelier than
the old-time spring roses-he is hero.
] think know one such.
The wife who bears her part in the
burden Of life-even though it be the
larger part-bravely, cheerfully, never
dreaming that she is a heroine, much
less a martyr; who bears with the
faults OF a husband not altogether con-
genial, with loving patience and a
large charity, and with noble decision
hiding them from the world who
makes no confdants and asks no con-
fdence who refrains from brooding
over shortcomings in sympathy and
sentiment, and from seeking perilous
''atfinities:" who does not build high
tragedy sorrows on the inevitable, nor
feel an earthquake in every family jar;
who sees her husband united with her
self indissolubly and eternally in their
children-she, the wife in very truth,
in the inward as in the outward, is a
heroine, though of rather an unfash-
ionable type.-Groce Greenwood.

StrOy tae effclency OF the legislature,
There were no suitable places, and it was
Impossible to get q acommittee together ii
the forenoon down town, and the sessions
Of the afternoon were kept up SO late that
evening meetings of the committees ctlnId
not be had. Here at the capitol there were
suitable rooms Which could be used by the
committees IN the morning. And il we
serve the people better by paying trans
portation from the public funds, it was
proper that 1t should be done;1 it would NOT

port, which we could then approve or dis
approve. ;sa SsfIs1%s ET3ss

Scattering Shots.

Representative Mcdonald, the sunny
faced member from Barnes, left for
his nome last evening, on a two days leave
Ut absence, and not until Tuesday next will
he radate in the hall OF the house.
Senator Sheldon, of Day county, may not
be the greatest ltterateur in the legisla-
ture, he may not sport as imposing ali alb
dominal expansion as some, and his quail
tications as an athlete may be questioned,
but when it comes to voice, he stands peer
less and alone and shakes the steam pipes
OF the capitol to the basement. lie is in
deed the basso profundi of the senate and
the roaring thunderer of the Dakota legis-
lature.
Senator Campbell, of Aberdeen, the pleas
ant young member with the soft blue eyes,
IS not occupying much Of the time OF the
senate in delivering grandiloquent speeches,
but he is watching the points in the game,
and when 1t comes to showdown, to use
the legislative parl tnce, he will be found
with four OF a kind and an ace to spare.
MI. Ward, of the house, is the author of
the motion to prevent the smoking of tobac-
co in the house, and when last seen at least
ten OF his brother sOlOns hau him sur
rounded and were putting as vehemently at
as many cigars, while they discoursed
gravely on the necessity of legislation do
ing away with the damnable liquor and to-
bacco trade. Mr.. Ward nodded and smiled
his assent, but it is said that he spoke not a
word until he had leaped through the door
way OF the capitol, and stood with clenched
fists and rage-wrinkled face in the pure in
vigorating atmosphere of the slope.
The members of the legislature are not
only unanimous in prOnOuncing Secretary
Mccormack the handsomest secretary Da-
kOta has ever had. but they believe him to
be as accommodating and pleasant gentle
man as ever welded the secretarial seal.
NJ Mr.. Ruggles, the husky giant from Ed
munds is said to be the champion wrestler,
hammer thrower and all round athlete of
the legislature.
whose identity Is unknown circulated the
report that capital removal bill will be
introduced in the house to-day. If we
make no error in sizing the present legjSla-
ture the only capital rem wal bill to be in
trOduced will be to remove the capital from
the gOld-lined Golfers OF the corporations
into the buckskin pockets of the yeomen.
Slowly but with unmistakabe certainty
the United States court question is devel-
oping into a dynamite cartridge which
must be handled with care. or it will ex-
plOde with disastrous results to the pros or
the cons.
When the newspaper legislation is intro
duced into the session you will find Senator
Adams on the band wagon with baton IN
one hand and bugle in the other, and if
his brethren OF the press are not deceived,
he will do much toward enlightening the
lawyers and physicians of the senate as to
the rights and requirements of the great
Archimedian lever.
Senator Smith, of Yankton, the gentle
man with the Scandinavian complexion
and New England speech, is as reasonable
and logical gentleman as ever repre-
sented the Yanktonaise warriors in the
legislature.
